In many hot videos, the main characters are cats and dogs, the spirituality and cute appearance of these animals can melt people’s hearts, really should be the saying: everything has a spirit.
Animals not only have spirituality, between animals and people, different animals may also exist between the fate of it! Let’s listen to what Ji Xiaolan, a university scholar during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, said.
The old man understood the old grudge
Ji Xiaolan knew a former imperial historian, Mr. Hu Muting, who told him a story about an old man and a pig.
In his hometown, there was a Family that had a pig. Whenever the pig saw the old man in the neighborhood, it would glare angrily and show its teeth.
Strangely enough, the pig is a docile face when it sees other people, but only when it sees the old man is not the norm.
The old man was angry at first, so angry that he wanted to buy the pig and kill it to eat, but one day the old man suddenly realized: “Is this what the scriptures say is a long-standing grudge? Buddha said that all the grievances in the world can be solved.”
So the old man offered a good price and bought the pig and sent it to a nearby monastery to be released as an offering to Buddha.
Since then, the old man went to the monastery again to meet the pig, found that it became docile, no longer angry eyes fury, but at his side, bowed his head, and obedient to the old man, a look of gratitude.
The tall man riding a fierce tiger, sincerity to resolve the old grudge
Sun Chong painted a picture of “Fuhu Yingzhen”, on which there is an inscription by Li Yan, a native of Bashu: “The most powerful man rides a fierce tiger, harnessing it as if it were a steed. Is it because the tiger is so tame that the power of the Tao eliminates its kites? I know that in heaven and earth, there are all sentient feelings that can be understood. Together with the heart of Gold and stone, there is nothing to fear.”
It means that a person of high moral power rides a tiger as if he were driving a steed. It is not that the tiger is inherently tame and docile, but the power of the Tao dissolves its ferocity. From this, we can see that all the grievances in heaven and earth can be solved in a good way. As long as we can treat each other sincerely, everyone can eliminate the suspicion and become good friends.
Li Yan’s inscription is a perfect interpretation of the story of the spirit pig told by Ji Xiaolan!
The bull and the dog fought endlessly… A long-standing grudge from a past Life?
Ji Xiaolan had a domestic servant named Liu Qi, who kept a cow and a dog. Every Time the bull saw the dog, he lowered his head and used his horns against it, and the dog saw the bull and bit it with his teeth like crazy. This pair of natural enemies every time they fought both hanging, blood flowing.
But the cow to see other dogs are very friendly; the dog to see other cattle also look like two ears do not hear outside the window of the calm look, but only when encountered each other, history will repeat itself. Perhaps there was a long-standing grudge between them in their previous lives that was difficult to reconcile.
Later, Ji’s father went to the Ministry of Household to be an official, and Ji also followed his father to leave his hometown. What the subsequent drama of this cow and this dog was, Ji did not know.
Therefore, the statement of the persistent grudge is definite, according to Senior Scholar Ji. Although the beast cannot speak, it has the memory of a past-life long-standing grudge. “The above-mentioned case of the cow and the dog probably belongs to this category.
(The matter is according to “Notes on Reading the Weed Hall”, Volume 1 of “Luanyang Xia Xiaolu Record” I)
